Fig. 2

The biomechanical knee joint test bench [17] with a knee specimen fixed at 30° of flexion. Anterior tibial translation force (red arrow) is induced by a pulley-and-weight system. A pnemuatic rotatory cylinder (a) is used to apply internal tibial torque (green arrow). The tibial weight is compensated in relation to the flexion angle by another pulley-and-weight system (blue arrow). Graft forces and tibiofemoral joint motion are measured by custom graft force measuring devices (incorparating a load cell) (b) and an optical 3D camera system (c) respectively
